    "The Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is an online community of open study groups for short university-level courses. Think of it as online book clubs for open educational resources. The P2PU helps you navigate the wealth of open education materials that are out there, creates small groups of motivated learners, and supports the design and facilitation of courses. Students and tutors get recognition for their work, and we are building pathways to formal credit as well. Sign-up for the next round of courses is tentatively scheduled to open in September 2010. However, you can still access all the course materials and even follow the discussions. And our pilot phase courses are in the http://archive.p2pu.org."
